This stock needs to touch 13 level for a serious shakeout.I used to hold lots of it but dumped when i realized there are too many weaklings holding it.When the price starts to move up,count on the many spoilers to disrupt the up move.

There was a time resistance was at 16,then 15 now its at 14.50-14.60.Early this week,we had a low of 13.25(Very significant weakness)

But it will move up.Just like KK,this is not the time to buy

And btw PE is 3.6

Shares like all commodities is significantly influenced by the forces of supply and demand.Imbalance of supply-demand causes price movements.

This, just like KK, is in the BUY zone. The counters have good value in them for fundamental investors

Who knows, by then Kenya Re could be up there having generated more than that the 10-15% gain

I don't get it. Why would a bonus translate to higher prices? I know it has in the past, but it's like get 5 ten shilling coins for your 50bob note.

Because bonus is capitalized earnings.
Going forward,more capital for the company means more investments leading to more revenue and ultimately, earnings.

I'm torn between the two tending towards KenRe.
Not long ago,around June this year, Kenya Re was being discussed in the same breath with Coop.
Today, Kenya Re is @14.50 while Coop is @17.80.

This does not necessarily translate to "more investments".
